You don't want to be heard when you are by your self and in a city filled with things that want to kill you.

My guess would be that since it is SUPPRESSED and it has a scope, you can take down Grunts from a far and they wouldn't know where they are getting hit from because they drop in one shot.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

The original mission seems to have been to infiltrate the prophets ship. I imagine they wanted to do that as quickly and quietly as possible. Silenced weapons are how you get that done.

1. Because ODST's aren't Spartans and they can't go guns blazing, especially when they're alone.

2. Because it's badass.

Ich bin Reptar!

IDK. But whenever you shoot it, they come after you, even if you miss. Isn't a silencer suppose to keep you from being noticed? O.o

When the silenced weapon instantly kills the enemy it will keep you from getting noticed. When it hits shields or just doesn't kill on the first shot then you will be noticed.

I still think it has more to do with the fact that the original mission seems to have been to infiltrate the Prophets ship. Romeo ask what he's going to do with a sniper inside a ship during the opening cut scene. (When Buck hands it to him) It makes sense that they would be silenced so that they can quickly and quietly pick off small groups of Covenant inside the ship. Then again, people seem to ignore what I say.

On a side note, a guy on King of the Hill just said to, "Pardon his dust".

We have Evolved Combat
We have gone to War
We have Finished The Fight
We have Remembered Reach

HALO, the best thing created after the sliced bread.

Think about this: you are not a Spartan with super strenght, motion tracker, or energy shields; you are an ODST and if you are planning to play in legendary the silenced weapon is going to help you because if you shoot, eventually the Horrible gorillas (known as Brutes) are going to chase you with hunters and more things.
A good way to survive is to not calling attention
